It was a bit of a rushed morning - I didn't get to bed until 4:30 AM after watching the major jam session of every band member on the cruise up on the Lido deck. It was a bit of a hoot as they basically sang a chorus or verse or two to every song from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's to a steady backbeat of percussion and guitar strumming. From the Who to Duran Duran to Sesame Street - every one had the opportunity to be "honored". They were still going strong after 2 hours when I decided I really needed to get to bed.
The fine plan Kim and I laid out for the morning went down the drain when we were awakened by the woman over the loudspeaker at 7 AM telling us to begin debarkation. I was just half-packed and needed to shower. Kim was more packed, but still - the plan was to get up at 8, eat breakfast at 9 and leave the boat around 10 to get to the airport in time for our 2 PM flights. We scrambled out - and weren't the only ones confused about the rush to debark - and here we sit.
I am going to try to upload some old pictures here - hopefully this will work this time!
Ed doing a fan photo before we left Miami. Yup, it was pretty much this way the whole cruise - see 'em in the halls, on the stairs, say "hi", get your picture taken, totally normal...
The reason for the delay in leaving Miami? Loading the equipment for 20 bands from the dock to the upper deck of the ship using one crane...
Getting ready for the opening concert. I was able to move up a bit when the opened up another section.

Sunset in Miami as we leave the port - finally!
